Abstract: An improved seamless crotch pantyhose garment includes an integrally knitted, continuous tubular blank having a pair of seamless tubular leg portions and a body portion which is knit integral with and interconnects the leg portions, thereby defining a seamless crotch area. The body portion is slit walewise to define a body receiving opening opposite to the seamless crotch. A decorative lace-like material which is substantially wider than the normal or even widest elastic support known and of substantially greater strength than the tubular blank is sewn onto the body portion of the blank about the slit to thereby define a panty portion of pantyhose which material provides the additional depth required to provide a satisfactory reach or rise from the crotch to the waistband necessary for a well fitted undergarment.

Abstract: A combination pantyhose garment in which separate seamless panty stockings are worn by the wearer in which each panty stocking is seamless knit of textured yarns and the panty portion is provided with a leg opening and a supporting band having elastomeric yarns which cross over each other in the overlapping panty portions to provide increased control characteristics in the garment.

Abstract: This disclosure teaches pantyhose wherein a panty portion is made of a resilient stretchable fabric (such as one made of a blend of nylon elastomeric fibers) enclosing a wearer's lower torso and is provided with a conventional elastic waist encircling band. The panty portion includes a rear panty portion which covers and confines the wearer's buttocks. The pantyhose also define a crotch zone between leg portions. An elastic shaping band is attached to the rear panty portion and is connected from the vicinity of the crotch zone to the vicinity of the waist band and fits between the wearer's buttocks to delineate the wearer's derriere in cheeky relief.

Abstract: An article of wearing apparel comprising a leg portion shaped substantially to cover at least the upper part of one of a wearer's legs, and a body portion extending upwardly from the leg portion at least to waist height and capable of substantially covering the lower part of the wearer's body, an aperture being provided in said article through which said wearer's other leg passes when said article is worn by said wearer.
